I had to pop out for a couple of hours around lunch-time, and inevitably a parcel was delivered while I was out. On my return I found this behind my front door.   I've no idea how this

Enough, with the bad jokes yew should all know better than to larch about in such serious times. The message is getting lost as I can't see the wood for the trees.

Think I’ll stick where I am otherwise people will think I’m a right birch.

Getting this thread back on track. 🙂

This arrived this morning. Wasn’t intending to replace the Bresser mak but when this came up on offer at Astroshop for £100.00 off couldn’t resist. Basicly a Bresser in black. 👍🏻 Now back up to the reg price.

Few bits to fit and yes that is a WDS handle Jeremy. 😁

Bernie...the bolt! or two as it is, they come in pairs you know. This is my counter weight bar, cheap as chips, £12.98 delivered, stainless steel M12 x 300mm, should do the job nicely. I thought I would cut the head off, but I’ll leave it on as the safety stop.

The postman brought an eagerly awaited package today: CEM60 + Berlebach Planet from FLO. My spouse gasped "that thing is gorgeous!" when she saw it. :D It is indeed a beautiful piece of kit. Can't wait to get it under the stars!

An early delivery of Luna Cognita greeted me this morning. A serious looking three volume set that I can't wait to delve into. After all, there's nothing else to do!

Nice, very nice. 👍
A trend of astro book spending is developing here.

I really like the look of these, please let us all know your thoughts once you sit a look through.
 

So nice I just ordered the set, there goes some of the new mount fund again!

For releasing the bolts that hold the rollers on my observatory - as recommended by SGL users:

Who needs PlusGas at present.
With our recently inventive and wildly mixed diet, what more to say 🌪️

I didn't get any warning sticker, so perhaps that's a good thing. 😉

What a coincidence, mine was delivered about 40 mts ago.  My wife carried it into the lounge complaining how heavy it is.  It's got to be the best value and most comprehensive lunar title ever.  I know what Ill bedoing later this evening if its cloudy!  😃
